Acknowledgments 



This work formed part of a Ph.D. thesis undertaken 

 at the University of New South Wales, Kensington, 

 Australia. The work benefited through numerous dis- 

 cussions with Drs. Geoffrey P. Kirkwood, Keith J. 

 Sainsbury, and William S. Hearn of the CSIRO Divi- 

 sion of Fisheries, Hobart, Australia. Two anonymous 

 referees reviewed the manuscript and provided valu- 

 able suggestions.
